On Ethics and History: Essays and Letters of Zhang Xuecheng by Zhang XuechengEnglish | November 17th, 2009 | ISBN: 0804761280 | 208 Pages | EPUB | 0.91 MB
Zhang Xuecheng (1738-1801) has primarily been read as a philosopher of history. This volume presents him as an ethical philosopher with a distinctive understanding of the aims and methods of Confucian self-cultivation. Offered in English translation for the first time, this collection of Zhang's essays and letters should challenge our current understanding of this Qing dynasty philosopher.
